Full Aperture Mechanical Beam Steering

摘要

An effort is underway to develop a high acceleration beam steering system for rapid, sequential pointing to multiple targets. A generalized analysis is first presented relating mirror steering performance and residual vibration distortions. The analysis is further generalized to systems which use multiple, independently-targeted apertures to increase retargeting rates. Then the design of an experiment for characterizing hydraulic servovalves and actuators is described.
